Yes Van Rijns where very good for us upto 260 miles, pushed them a little too far though, which has resulted in very few lines of them left. John Bosworth has i believe done very well in the last few years with them.

 

Have seen the Brian & Karen Hawes sale list and photos on another website and they very like the ones we had, size - medium to medium/small with good muscle and apple bodies.

went down to the breeding lofts of alistair kerrs in ayrshire in 2004 with pal john bosworth where we bought 12 leo van rijn youngsters each,lovely type of bird raced all 24 between us left with one which turned into a champion for john winning thousands of pounds in national racing and is now dam and g/dam of national winners for john,he has now scored with these birds from ypres and thinks they will further. :)

1 from 24 is 4% success rate. just about right
